Best Tapas Restaurants in Ballantyne

We had an incredible dining experience at CW steakhouse. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a great meal. The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every dish we ordered was expertly prepared, from the appetizers to the sides and desserts. What truly made our evening exceptional was our server, Michael. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made us feel welcome. His recommendations were spot-on, and his friendly yet professional demeanor elevated our dining experience. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making the meal even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a top-notch steakhouse with outstanding service, this is the place to go. Be sure to ask for Michael—he will make your experience unforgettable! We can’t wait to return.

5 stars across the board. First time visit to Catalu, and we will definitely be back. This place has checks all the boxes of a fine dining restaurant without the pretentiousness that is often part of the fine dining experience. The tapas was spectacular and paella was even more delicious. Our waitress (Angie?) was affable and knew the menu backwards and forwards, although it was her first week of employment at the restaurant. Very pleasant, indeed. We look forward to booking at Catalu again very soon.

Great spot! Service and food, spot on! The place is small, really small and the music seemed to get louder as dinner progressed. Couldn’t really talk over the Dj but it is a “sound bar” so I enjoyed the vibe, my drinks, and food. Get the pornstar martini and try the hen in the woods!

Mariposa at the Mint was the perfect spot to celebrate my birthday! The atmosphere was beautiful, creating a warm and inviting experience. Our server, Rebecca, was absolutely phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and eager to make our evening special. She even took pictures for us and provided excellent food and drink recommendations. Even on a quieter Tuesday evening, the service was top-notch. I can’t wait to come back and try their brunch!

Great experience with our waitress. Decent service but did not come to get our orders for a bit but food came out quickly. Music was loud and the restaurant was packed. Food was nice and they were very accommodating with our food alterations and substitutions.
